The Soft-template Technique to Synthesize Metal Ag Nanoparticle

Abstract

Metal Ag nanoparticle is successfully synthesized in a novel Brij56/ H2O/AgNO3solution by taking advantage of the simple natural light reduction method. The metal Ag nanoparticle was investigated by TEM, XRD. A soft template mechanism is put forward to try to interpret the formation of Ag nanoparticle. It is expected to utilize the simple synthesis technique to prepare many other nanoparticles.
